Re: Why is ./Build install destdir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT ignoring the destdir?

I don't mean to sound mean, or anything. But You've already been told what the problem is:

Permission denied

Should it not already be obvious to you; this is a system error. Your system (the one your building this on) is trying to tell you that you don't have write privileges to the directory you are attempting to write to.

I'ts also possible that "Perl", itself is associated with some user/group, and wouldn't have permission. But, in almost any case, it's you, the user, whos permissions are inherited, that determine what can, and cannot be done on the system.

Perhaps doing an su before attempting the install?

UPDATE: I should also add; that you can also make the install, install to a lib within your home directory.

make install PREFIX=~/lib

assuming that the directory lib already exists within your ~ (Home) directory.

Thanks for your response taint. I learned that YAML::Tiny uses Module::Build::Tiny which does not like

./Build install destdir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT

so I had to change that line in my spec file to ...

./Build install --destdir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
